the blow-up - the clash of realities
You share your message with the world
some accept it
but some rabidly reject it
you made a decision
they feel hurt
hurt people hurt people (find quote, I think you have it in another paper
they feel left out (again)
now find fault
before they stood with you
take a side
our side
world rocked again
another arrebato
another susto
you love this group
you respect that group
you try to understand
in your own defiance you don't want to take side
impossible - even if you chose to not choose, that's still a choice (Corkille-Briggs)
how do you place your queerness above
gender
race or culture
wanting to learn
to bring all factions home?
back in nepantla
trying to manuever the unknown
the uncertain
flounder
Coatlicue state reemerges
depression rears its head again
you use old ways of survival
run away
submit
freeze
fight
learn another exists - deep listening
seek commonalities
honor difference
All the spaces/stages of conocimiento come crashing in in these instances
you are prepared
use it all, lo bueno y lo malo
a still space within, one that you have cultivated assures you to just be
be the bridge, the sandbar, a tombolo (a sandbar that connects islands)
